The agenda included updates on security challenges, economic cooperation, trade integration, and country-specific situations such as Benin, Guinea-Bissau, and Guinea, before leaders moved into closed-door talks.
The session came against the backdrop of recent coups and attempted power grabs in West Africa, including the December 7 coup attempt in Benin that prompted Nigeria to deploy troops and air support after a request from the Beninese government.
Leaders are expected to agree on stronger joint security measures and economic tools to stabilise the region, with outcomes likely to shape ECOWAS actions ahead of its next summit.
